Very good video

When do you start? Mine are low bushes, do I prune them now or wait till they grow taller?

THANK YOU SO MUCH. This is EXACTLY how I like mine to be cut clean, stunning looking as they mature. Excellent video,right to the correct cutting point.

Great video, very informative. Quick question when is the best time to prune crape Myrtle’s. Should it be done only in the fall 1x per year?

No flowers on CM so I am assuming this pruning is done in the Spring? Please advise. Thanks

what size planter is that in?

Great video! I'd love to see more pruning of crepe myrtles out in the landscape. We've recently moved to the south, so I never had experience with them up north.

What time of year should this be done?

I prune my crepe myrtles and my rose of Sharon like this.

🙋🏼‍♀️❓@nathan 1)would you start rooting any of the clippings you took from this crêpe myrtle tree? 2) If so, could you explain your preferred way of rooting it. 3)How long will it take to establish if you do root your clippings and branches before they become viable? 4) Is there a best time to trim them back? I’m in zone 9A. Our temperatures are in triple digits currently. Thank you.

Well done

Thank you for showing a really clean trim job. It’s always scary to cut off a lower branch but this shows the benefit.

What about the suckers that are coming from the bottom soil level? I now have this big "knot" around the bottom of my crepe myrtle???

How do you keep the suckers coming up from the ground gone??

They don't turn pink.

Thank you so much. I am about to transplant a young red crepe myrtle. I dont like it to be so many legs or trunks. I just want it to be taller like the ones I see when I drive. Do I need to tie them together?

wow, thank you. So informative

Good stuff thank you. Would love to see a video on how you get a small crepe myrtle with only one main cane to develop multiple canes? Only thing I can think to do is either hope for some suckers or prune the single main cane way back and hope that it branches.

What do you think about using a strap to bind the remaining main trunks so they grow closer together and more vertically? I did that with one of my crepe myrtles. The first year it bloomed late and grew poorly. But the next year it recovered and is now growing an attractive-looking narrow and tall. Being compact I see no need to crop off the top.

Thanks for the video. One of the best! I already pruned but I need more done. Appreciate you.

thank you SO MUCH for this! I have a super young tree that's growing out of control and needs an urgent pruning, this video was super helpful. cheers from Brazil! ✨🌸

He left a big trunk that crosses and rubs another. That one should've been taken off too

GREAT INFO. THANKS

Cutting straight across or topping them off IS wrong

Simple, but very effective tutorial on pruning correctly. Well done ,Sir.

I want to remove mine

They are ugly

so helpful, ty!

Microphillia livws in full shade?

Great information! I can’t find similar videos on River birch. Would this pruning method be appropriate for those? Thanks

What kind of crape myrtle is that? What is the smallest crape myrtle that can be limbed up so that a person can walk under it? Can it be done to a 16' myrtle? Or is there a minimum height needed?

I am going to take my chances and plant one of these in a part-shade area. Which one do you think will hold its colour better??

Thank you! Great video

I got a bare root crape myrtle with one trunk and very low branches, will the trunk grow anymore, I have it in a pot at the moment?

Great video!

I am in Panama city Beach FL Is the Summer Red Maple a good choice?

Thanks for the video JD. I just bought the mine yo yuki and want to plant it against the back of a privacy wall. I’m torn between doing that or a clematis. Just not sure. Like the idea of a year long green plant and a perennial .Also don’t want to attract bees since my kids are afraid of them.🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m conflicted LOL

Great video!! Just what I needed.

My Dynamite crepe myrtles here in Pennsylvania is just starting to bud July 23rd can I trim up now?

Hi, do you have a video on how to trim a Crete Myrtle with one trunk? Thx

"It's not wrong to cut the top off of it"~?~?!!! You just lost all credibility as a Southern garden/landscape "expert", sir. SO SAD!

Do you have to continue to cut these small branches every year? I see people with completely smooth trunks and I always wonder how they do that. It doesn’t appear any small branches even attempting to grow.

Can I Prune my crate Myrtle in June?

nice video

the old lady hates when i do this.

Bought a house last year where the previous owner butchered all nine beautiful crape myrtles. We had a freeze apocalypse (2021) in Texas which seems to have killed the main trunks. Suckers have shot out from the base of all the trees and are budding out. What can I do to help my poor trees?

How do I get rid of scale on my rosy maidenhair fern?

Is it ok to take last years seed pods off?

Thank you so much mam for sharing this amazing trick 👍love from india ❤️🙏

I want to mass plant these in my front garden.
